The selection of Mr Beckstrom, whose appointment was first reported in The Australian, was finalised in Sydney this week where Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) officials are meeting.

Mr Beckstrom said his first goal would be to meet with the many working groups and stakeholder or "tribes" within ICANN. He also said that he planned to take a close look at ICANN's organisational plan to see what was "on track and what wasn’t on track.”

ICANN's board chairman Peter Dengate Thrush said Mr Beckstrom has "the strong personal and technical background that ICANN needs as we enter a period of unprecedented growth and change for the internet".

Is that the role if ICANN? Sounds like he's halfway to becoming a politician...

we can always send twitter notices. @RodBeckstrom

That shouldn't take long. ICANN is incapable of keeping anything on track.

I hope he has brought his Bull Whip.

Yes, I can see how that would go down at the State Department, when they are asking for their independence but asking to double their fees as a leaving present. Get real guys!

The head of icann earns $800,000/y in wages, doesn't he ?
No doubt Internet governance is serious business but icannn hardly looks like a not for profit outfit.

Well, being a Not for Profit, every time their revenue goes up they have to look at ever more ingenious ways of jacking up their costs. That's how it works!
